On the way to the Apple Store today and got Hit by a NYC Taxi while at a light, 45 degree angle into my left rear Quarter and Door. The guy discharges his passengers....I say they can't leave they are witnesses and I get a funny look as they scurry away. The driver will not get out of his car and points like he's going to pull up across the intersection. He backs off my car then shoots around me turns right on to 40th Street and keeps going...I give chase, I pull up next to him at the light at 7th and 40th Street and yell and signal him to pull over. He jumps the light, turns right on 7th and starts to run, I start to pull up next to him on 7th and he actually trys to Ram me...I back off at 38 and 7th. Now remember I'm on the way to the Apple Store to replace a failed Iphone so I can;t even call 911. I find a payphone on that corner and call the cops. I Have the guys Hack number, so I file and accident report, a Vehicular Assault and Hit and Run Complaints.

i feel for you. this is what happens when a boston taxi, self insured by the way, drives like a maniac through a blinking intersection but no ticket was issued since we were both supposed to "proceed with caution" according to the police. Occured this morning.

Yikes, my damage is minor compared to that, I was more traumatized when the guy tried to Ram me, I swerved left and hit the brakes missing a parked Lexus I think by a hair. Hope your OK.

They'll trace the number to the fleet owner, who will probably deny the car was on the road or produce a bogus trip log that shows the car in the bronx..I'm gonna inquire about the Security cameras in the area....but I'm gonna give it a shot.

Cab drivers, from what I have seen, are among the rudest and most incompetent drivers on the road. The Alexandria, VA city cabs also smell like a weedwacker running rich (and burn about as much oil), so I wonder who they're bribing to get their **** to pass emissions. Probably nobody, the cab driver's brother also owns a garage that happens to be an emissions test station.

Oh man. I feel for you. That's why I'm thinking of outfitting my car with machine guns. This way I can pursue with extreme prejudice.

Maybe I could mount the turret from a Hind somewhere on my roof.

Hehehe, I've told my wife hundreds of times that I want a Tank/Striker/Hummer outfitted with 50 cal, etc. Unfortunately, I'd never get anywhere as I'd be too busy blowing up 75% of the people on the road.

It is a shame that the people inside the cab did not at least try to give you there phone number to be a wittness ?

Rockets, Oil Slick, Smoke screen, ejecting seat, machine guns, where can we get these installed?

Those passengers were probably International tourists, they were speaking Japanese and leaving quite quickly, probably just didn't want to get involved...if they were New Yorkers they would have stayed and Sued for Whiplash.

I blame it all on Apple. If you could get what you wanted at your local Best Buy or on Amazon, you would not have been in Manhattan and this never would have happened.

Just say no to Steve Jobs.

This is why I have never owned, do not own, nor ever will own an Apple product

i'm a little confused...i'm pretty sure you can buy plenty of apple products at best buy or amazon...

anyway i was in nyc a couple months ago and saw a taxi do a slight hit and run on another car, the damage looked minimal but it will still cost the guy a couple hundred to fix...so just know, your not the only guy who suffers from *******s like this

Update: Got off the phone with NYPD, they had an accident report # but the PO didn't file the Hit and run complaint....I guess thats what you get with 29K a year cops.....sheesh, now I am about to drive into downtown Manhattan to file a complaint in 98 degree heat.
